PAR Technology Corporation Announces 2012 Third Quarter Results

PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) today announced results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2012. PAR reported third quarter
revenues of $61.1 million, a 4% increase from the $58.7 million reported
for the third quarter of 2011. Net income from continuing operations for
the third quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, representing diluted
earnings per share of $0.09, compared to the third quarter of 2011
figure of $1.6 million, representing diluted earnings per share of $0.11.

Paul B. Domorski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Current
market conditions, in the hospitality segments we serve, are making
organic growth challenging in the near-term. Despite this uncertainty,
PAR has been able to maintain profitability, while continuing our
investment in expanding our market reach through new products and
services.”

Mr. Domorski continued, “During the third quarter, PAR made several
important announcements. In the hospitality segment, we introduced our
all new PAR EverServ® 7000 Point of Sale terminal. This is a terrific
new product, which delivers demonstrable value to our customers at an
attractive price point. Also in the quarter, PAR Springer-Miller
formally announced the transition of its ATRIO® Guest Experience
Management software with Microsoft Corporation’s Windows Azure™ cloud
platform. With Windows Azure, a global network of Microsoft-managed
datacenters, PAR is now able to provide computing and storage resources
in support of ATRIO, assuring our customers of 99.95% uptime. During the
quarter, we also announced new distribution partners, as we prepare for
the aggressive roll-out of ATRIO worldwide.”

“Finally, our Government contracting segment announced several new
contracts, most notably the award by the U.S. Army of an additional
contract with a ceiling value of $48 million and a five year term. This
is the most recent contract we have received based on our expertise in
advanced Full Motion Video (FMV), Geospatial Information Systems (GIS)
and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) software and
hardware technologies. PAR is providing research, development,
deployment and operational support, and user training necessary to
transition these innovative and important capabilities to the field.”

Mr. Domorski concluded, “The continued slowdown in business with our
largest restaurant technology customer in the quarter has resulted in
lower year-over-year revenue in our hospitality technology segment. Our
other hospitality markets have also shown weakness in the quarter.
However, given our conservative approach to uncertainty, we braced PAR
for such conditions, refrained from any non-essential expenditures and
concentrated on profitability while continuing our focus on innovation
and new product introductions. It is important to note that we continue
to benefit from our strong and growing Government contracting business
through a pipeline of new contract wins. As our hospitality technology
markets rebound from the current market slowdown, we are poised to
return to improved growth patterns with higher profitability.”

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP.
However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the
reconciliation table above, are provided herein because management uses
such measures in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of
the Company and believes this information provides investors better
insight into underlying business trends and performance. Non-GAAP
financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an
alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance
with GAAP.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded total
charges of $29.4 million primarily related to an impairment of goodwill
and intangible assets of $20.8 million. Additionally, the Company
recorded a charge of $7.7 million related to a non-recurring write-down
of certain inventory associated with discontinued products, and charges
of $0.9 million related to the consolidation of some of its facilities.
The aforementioned charges have been recorded net of tax benefit of
$10.6 million and have been excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP measures
because they are considered non-recurring in nature and are
quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company’s core
operations during any particular period.

These charges did not have any impact on the Company’s financial results
for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

"We're a cybersecurity firm that specializes in engineering security solutions both at the software and hardware level. Security cannot be an after-the-fact afterthought, which is what it's become," stated Richard Blech, Chief Executive Officer at Secure Channels, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

Consumers increasingly expect their electronic "things" to be connected to smart phones, tablets and the Internet. When that thing happens to be a medical device, the risks and benefits of connectivity must be carefully weighed. Once the decision is made that connecting the device is beneficial, medical device manufacturers must design their products to maintain patient safety and prevent compromised personal health information in the face of cybersecurity threats.

You know you need the cloud, but you’re hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Detecting internal user threats in the Big Data eco-system is challenging and cumbersome. Many organizations monitor internal usage of the Big Data eco-system using a set of alerts. This is not a scalable process given the increase in the number of alerts with the accelerating growth in data volume and user base. Organizations are increasingly leveraging machine learning to monitor only those data elements that are sensitive and critical, autonomously establish monitoring policies, and to detect...

DevOps is under attack because developers don’t want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That’s changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE).

We needed something that would take us beyond reducing the developmen...

Increasingly, in a world of compressed times and distances, humans will be the inventors, designers and managers of digital systems and processes, rather than the operators. Operations will be measured in milliseconds, an inhumane speed where only the machines can deliver.

"Suddenly a lot of companies started focusing on producing services in the cloud. I like to call it Cloud Native - everything is built for the cloud. The main concept there is to enable developers to work fast," explained Ben Bernstein, CEO & Co-Founder of Twistlock, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.

These days, change is the only constant. In order to adapt and thrive in an ever-advancing and sometimes chaotic workforce, companies must leverage intelligent tools to streamline operations. While we're only at the dawn of machine intelligence, using a workflow manager will benefit your company in both the short and long term. Think: reduced errors, improved efficiency and more empowered employee...

In our first installment of this blog series, we went over the different types of applications migrated to the cloud and the benefits IT organizations hope to achieve by moving applications to the cloud.
Unfortunately, IT can’t just press a button or even whip up a few lines of code to move applications to the cloud. Like any strategic move by IT, a cloud migration requires advanced planning.

In 2016, artificial intelligence (AI) reached its climax. Research and advisory firm Tractica predicted that the annual worldwide AI revenue will grow from $643.7 million in 2016 to $38.8 billion by 2025.

Docker is on a roll. In the last few years, this container management service has become immensely popular in development, especially given the great fit with agile-based projects and continuous delivery. In this article, I want to take a brief look at how you can use Docker to accelerate and streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) process.

Cloud computing budgets worldwide are reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars, and no organization can survive long without some sort of cloud migration strategy. Each month brings new announcements, use cases, and success stories.
